The Different Plastics Used in Construction

Plastic can take on many forms, both durable and malleable, which is why it’s so useful for construction. Most construction projects will use some form of plastic as building materials, often utilizing multiple plastics to complete one project. To better understand what this looks like, here are the different plastics workers use in construction projects.

Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)

PVC comes in many forms, but you typically see it used as piping or cables throughout buildings to protect pathways. It’s extremely cost-effective and a quality material for most applications, which is why it’s great for construction. It even has a low environmental impact compared to many other plastic options.

High Density Polyethylene (HDPE)

While HDPE sees a lot of use in everyday plastic products, it also sees a lot of use in construction. The most common uses of HDPE for construction are piping systems for water and geothermal systems. HDPE is also one of the best plastics for resisting corrosion, which is why it’s so useful for construction.

Expanded Polystyrene (EPS)

A lot of insulation in the walls and ceilings of buildings uses EPS to help control the temperature of the building. One of the most popular uses for EPS is to sheath a building to prevent heat transfer and prevent moisture from entering the structure. It’s one of the most popular forms of insulation; you can find it in many different forms throughout various building types.

Other Uses of Plastic in Construction

There are many different plastics used in construction, and there are equally as many uses for those plastics. From plastic films for packaging to piping to nails and screws, plastic is a lightweight, durable, and cost-effective resource that’s perfect for construction. Many buildings utilize plastic for windows, roofing, flooring, and even doors. There are very few parts of a building that can’t utilize plastic if given the chance.

Understanding the uses of plastic will help you plan your own construction project. Plastic is a vital tool for good construction methods, and many systems rely on it to work effectively. Additionally, it’ll save a lot of money and is easy to recycle in comparison to many other materials used in construction.

Noon briefing by Stéphane Dujarric, Spokesperson for the Secretary-General. Highlights: Secretary-General/trip announcement Secretary-General/Yemen Financing for development Syria United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon Lebanon Occupied Palestinian Territory Iraq Haiti Somalia Latin America and the Caribbean Food price index Aviation Day SECRETARY-GENERAL/TRIP ANNOUNCEMENT The Secretary-General will be heading to South Africa and Lesotho next week. On Wednesday, he will be in South Africa, where he will meet with President Cyril Ramaphosa and other senior South African government officials. Discussions will focus on global and regional issues, but especially on South Africa’s G20 Presidency and its leadership on financing for development. The Secretary-General will underscore that with South Africa taking the G20 helm and being the first African country to preside over the G20, there is a significant opportunity for the G20 to help advance Africa’s priorities. On Thursday, the Secretary-General will proceed to neighbouring Lesotho where he will meet with the King of Lesotho, Letsie III, the Prime Minister and other officials. The Secretary-General will seize this opportunity of this visit to show solidarity with the African continent, that has been a victim of global injustices that are denying African nations their rightful place on the world’s stage. The visit to Lesotho is symbolic as it is a small land-locked country that has suffered the dramatic impacts of climate change, which will cost African economies billions of dollars every year. While there, he is scheduled to address the Parliament as Lesotho celebrates the bicentenary of the founding of the Basotho nation, a moment the Secretary-General is honoured to share with the people of Lesotho. The history of this country is rich, and its location in the heart of southern Africa and commitment to sustainable development puts it in a unique position. Prior to departing Lesotho, the Secretary-General will visit the Katse Dam which is central to the Lesotho Highlands Water Project and to water management in the broader region. SECRETARY-GENERAL/YEMEN In a statement issued today, the Secretary-General renewed his call for the immediate and unconditional release of the humanitarian personnel arbitrarily detained by the Houthis in Yemen. It has been six months since the detention of more than 50 personnel from the United Nations, international and national non-governmental organizations, from civil society, and diplomatic missions, in addition to the four other UN personnel detained in 2021 and 2023. The Secretary-General acknowledged the recent release of one UN staff member and two NGO personnel recently but recalled that the continued arbitrary detention of dozens of others is unacceptable and constitutes a violation of international law. These detentions threaten the safety of humanitarian personnel and significantly impair efforts to assist millions of people in need. These actions are inconsistent with genuine engagement in peace efforts. The United Nations, NGOs and other relevant international partners are working through all possible channels and authorities to secure the immediate release of those arbitrarily detained. FINANCING FOR DEVELOPMENT Also today, the Secretary-General is appointing a group of prominent experts to promote actionable policy solutions and galvanize political and public support required to resolve the debt crisis. This work will inform the Fourth International Conference on Financing for Development (FfD4), which is an intergovernmental process facilitated by the UN, which will take place from 30 June to 3 July, in Sevilla, Spain next year. The developing world is currently facing an unprecedented debt crisis, with dozens of countries struggling under the weight of debt service that threatens economic stability, social progress, and sustainable development. And yet, to date, the global response has fallen short. The group will be led by Mr. Mahmoud Mohieldin, the UN Special Envoy on Financing for the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda, and co-chaired by Mr. Paolo Gentiloni, the former European Commissioner for Economy, Mr. Trevor Manuel, the former Minister of Finance of South Africa, and Ms. Yan Wang, a Senior Academic Researcher at the Boston University Global Development Policy Center. That has been shared with you electronically as we speak. Full Highlights: https://www.un.org/sg/en/content/noon-briefing-highlight?date%5Bvalue%5D%5Bdate%5D=06%20December%202024

In Mauritania climate change and rising temperatures are accelerating desertification and exacerbating food insecurity and poverty. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) supports the communities to grow food by halting desertification and restoring fertile land. FAO is supporting the introduction of innovative solutions such as agricultural drones to seed for land restoration in large, scarcely populated areas. This technology allows small communities to restore larger areas in less time.

It’s not yet clear how the Democrats intend to approach the next four years with Donald Trump in office. Will they work with or against him? And how do they shape a new pitch to American voters? The fallout also continues from Joe Biden’s decision to pardon his son, Hunter. Gavin Newsom is the most senior Democrat to publicly criticise the president’s decision, and now Trump is arguing the case against him should be thrown out too.

Tens of thousands of people are fleeing the Syrian city of Homs as rebel Islamist fighters close in. The speed at which the armed opposition is advancing across the country has surprised everyone. The Syrian army of President Assad has been retreating with little sign of resistance. Syria’s civil war began in 2011 and led to enormous loss of life - as many as 500,000 people are believed to have been killed. Rebel fighters were forced into retreat in 2016 but now they're back and in just 10 days they have captured Syria's second largest city of Aleppo and another major city, Hama. If they also capture Homs they could cut the main road from the capital Damascus to the Syrian coast. The threat to President Assad’s regime comes as his international allies are weakened, with Russia, Iran and Hezbollah, are fighting in their own conflicts.

Syrian anti-government rebels were closing in on the city of Homs on Friday, as they gained new ground in a fresh offensive against President Bashar al-Assad. This has led to tens of thousands of people fleeing Homs, Syria's third-largest city. The rebels seized Hama to the north on Thursday, a second major blow to President Bashar al-Assad who lost control of Aleppo last week. Their goal is to overthrow Assad's regime, the leader of Islamist militant group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham said. Meanwhile, Kurdish-led forces have also reportedly seized control of Deir al-Zour in eastern Syria.
